Africa - a continent of equality and acceptance

Whilst on my daily travels from hotel room to bar - and on occasion to the "chicken-head soup" restaurant I have noticed many special qualities Nigeria has to offer.

Sure I may have begun my stay here thinking very little of the people, of the country, of the food, of the infrastructure etc but now, well - I think much less of them all.

Gasp and horror I hear, but I have a slight bit of substantiary evidence at my disposal and today I am going to share with you they manner in which Nigerian culture treats the world with the utmost respect.

Equal Rights for women

Fair treatment of the disabled

Enjoy the week everybody.

Miley Friday

Im sorry Miley is late guys - Nigeria is killing me, along with Jacques bosses.

So without further ado...

Nigeria - Uber fun!

Just a quick update to let ya'll know we're keeping strong over here...in the arse end of the world.

Courage/Inspiration

Nigeria

Well, after much delay I and SMC model are here in Enugu in Nigeria. When we asked our escort why there were so many police roadblocks, he simply replied "Kidnapping has increased a lot lately". Not cool!

To better describe the essence of this place to you all a have prepared a bit of show and tell.

Basically, it's like this...

PLUS

True story.

Happy Birthday Miley!

Yes, the truest story of them all is upon us today.

Miley turns 17 today - born this day back in 1992 did her folks know the greatness they were about to bestow upon the world?

Whether they knew it or not - we applaud and thank them.

Happy Happy Miley!

It's Magic

 From the girl with the hair - Selena Gomez - for Jacques.

How can you not like that? It's impossible.

Happy Friday!

So here we are again - amazing how quickly Friday has yet again snuck up upon us.

Before we begin I should say that I'm not quite in Nigeria, but work has begun and I'll be there on Monday it seems. My last weekend of civilization for a while is upon me. Tragic times these.

Anyway Miley Friday, awesome as ever and as an added bonus it's Miley's birthday on Monday so expect more on that...

 

 

 

 

 

 

You're welcome.

National Anthem Debacle

Basically, all I have to say about Ras' performance is...

Now that's a true story.

The awesomeness of Google Street View

So it's been out for quite some time now, Google Street View that is. You may even have seen the little Toyota Prius cars running about in Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban etc.

But have you taken the time to log onto Google Earth and see what it's all about? Quite frankly I think it's the best thing since...well Miley. And with a credit note like that you know it's got to be filled with loads of awesomeness.

So, for those of you who have had a look, good on ya! For those of you who have not done so as of yet and perhaps need some convincing...

 

 

It's like being there, just not.

The stuff for South Africa isn't on Google Earth quite yet but be patient, soon it will be and you can check out your house or Pick 'n Pay or some other stuff. (not quite the same value as the picks above but cool none-the-less).

P.S. I'm off to Nigeria tonight so.. it's been nice knowing ya'll.

More Crazy Book Titles

Following  the monumental success of "Crazy Book Titles", well here are some more!

Enjoy

Miley Friday

Boys and girls,

In keeping with my mantra of no one lady being placed on a pedestal above any other, no girl being more desirable than the next and no woman being valued above any other on this blog I give you...Miley Friday.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I think that I ought to tell you all that this is possibly the last of Miley Friday for a bit, not due to a lack of love, passion or equality on my women grading scale but, the True Story is that your fearless Captain, along with "That Guy Debbie Wants To Feed"  is off to Nigeria.

Yes shock and horror I know, but don't despair - I'll take good care of "That Guy..."

But I will still do my best to deliver what you need!

I bid you all farewell, for the time being, and if I don't see you again - well you win some and you lose some, don't ya?

Practical and fashionable...

With the weekend drawing ever closer I thought it was time I distributed some much needed assistance.

You see, the thing is that it's often the case that when you're out at a friends place, restaurant or what have you and you order a beer (or one of those fruity things the girls like) and BAM! no bottle opener.

True story - and a sad one at that.

Fact is you can't very well carry around a bottle open everywhere you go - without looking like a chop that is....Or can you?

Yes sir, now you can. Have a look at these, then go out into the world and get yourself one, or two...

 Buy It

Such useful advice I dispense.

Letters to the editor

I received this from Douglas earlier today:

So, not wanting to be rude to a loyal follower...

Dear Douglas,

As you are well aware, I am always willing to take requests and suggestions for this, our most famed blog. I must also applaud you on your courteous and friendly manner of email correspondence - it is seldom the case I come by such a message in these trying times in which we currently live.

However, before I move along to the result of your request I must comment on your statement "I would risk saying that she (Bar Refaeli) is way better than Taylor Swift".
Now Douglas, we should be careful when making such rash accusations - it is not within the nature of this blog to place one lady/women/girl above any other - to me they are all equal. I would never place just one group/individual etc on a pedestal. So if you would please keep that in mind for future reference - although I must commend you on your passion.

Nevertheless, I find your request to be valid and of an honest nature and so I shall reward you and everyone else with some images of Bar Refaeli.

 

 

 

And a video for good measure...

Well done and thank you Douglas.

And to the rest of you...you're welcome.

Urban Camouflage

Did you all see Miley's magnificent victory in the poll? - never doubted it.

Moving on though, here are some pretty cool pictures of "urban camouflage". I am not entirely certain of the need or reason for such things and it would seem that some people have far too much time on their hands - but it's impressive none-the-less.
